i've got a secret (didn't we shake sugaree)

i've got a secret

i shouldn't tell

i'm gonna go to heaven in a split-pea shell

lordie me

didn't we shake sugaree

everything i have

down in pawn

you know i pawned my watch

i pawned my chain

i'd of sold myself

but i felt ashamed

lordie me

didn't we shake sugaree

everything i have

down in pawn

i've got a song to sing

not very long

i'm gonna sing it right if it takes me all night long

lordie me

didn't we shake sugaree

everything i have

down in pawn

i've got a secret

i shouldn't tell

i'm gonna go to heaven in a split-pea shell

lordie me

didn't we shake sugaree

everything i have

down in pawn
